●Relationship of Mounting Distance between K8DS-PA Relays
and Ambient Temperature (Reference Values)
The following diagram shows the relationship between the mounting distances and the
ambient temperature.
If the relay is used with an ambient temperature that exceeds these values, the
temperature of the K8DS may rise and shorten the life of the internal components.

2.
The power ON lock prevents unnecessary alarms from being generated during the unstable
period when the power is first turned ON. There is no contact output during timer operation.
3.
Phase loss is detected by a drop in the L1, L2, or L3 voltage. A phase loss is detected when
any of the phase-to-phase voltages goes below 60% of the rated input.
4.
L2 and L3 are also used for the power supply. If the voltage becomes very low, the Relay
will not operate.
5.
Phase loss is not detected in the motor load during operation.
6.
Phase loss cannot be detected on the load side because detection is based on the voltage.

Setting Methods
●Asymmetry
The asymmetry rate is set using the asymmetry rate knob (ASY.)
The setting range is 2% to 22% of the rated input.
Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have reached the
same level.)
Use this as a guide to make the setting.
The rated input depends on the model and the rotary switch setting.
Example: K8DS-PA1 with Rotary Switch Set to 200 V
The rated input is 200 VAC, so the setting range is 4 to 44 V.
If the setting (ASY. knob) is at 10%, the asymmetry operation voltage is 20 V and an alarm will be output if the difference between
the minimum and maximum phases for two of the three phases exceeds 20 V.
●Operating Time
The operating time is set using the operating time knob (T).
The operating time can be set to between 0.1 and 30 s.
Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have reached the
same level.)
Use this as a guide to set the operating time.
If the input exceeds the asymmetry set value, the alarm indicator will start flashing for the set period and then stay lit.

Checking Operation
With the rated input voltage applied, gradually change one of
the phase-to-phase voltages. The Relay will operate when
the difference between the highest and lowest voltage
phases reaches or exceeds the asymmetry operating value.
Asymmetry operating value = Rated input voltage ×
Asymmetry set value (%)
How to Measure the Operating Time
Operating Time
Adjust the slide resistor so that the voltage difference applied
to the K8DS terminals is equal to or greater than the
asymmetry operating value when the auxiliary relay operates,
as shown in connection diagram 2.
Close the switch and use a cycle counter to measure the
operating time.
Checking the Phase Sequence and Phase Loss
Operation
Phase Sequence Operation
Switch the wiring, as shown by the dotted lines in connection
diagram 1, to reverse the phase sequence and check that the
K8DS operates.
Phase Loss Operation
Create a phase loss for any input phase and check that the
K8DS operates.
Load-side Phase Loss
In principle, phase loss cannot be detected on the load side
because the K8DS-PA measures three-phase voltage to
determine phase loss.
Motor Load Phase Loss during Operation
Phase loss cannot be detected for motor loads during
operation. Use the asymmetry detection function.
Normally, three-phase motors will continue to rotate even if
one phase is open. The three-phase voltage will be induced
at the motor terminals. The diagram shows voltage induction
at the motor terminals when phase R is lost with a load
applied to a three-phase motor. The horizontal axis shows the
motor load as a percentage of the rated load, and the vertical
axis shows voltage as a percentage of the rated voltage. The
lines in the graph show the voltage induced at the motor
terminals for each load when phase loss occurs during
operation. As the graph shows, phase loss cannot be
detected because the motor terminal voltage does not drop
very much even if a phase is lost when the load on the motor
is light. Use the asymmetry detection function to detect
asymmetry in the motor terminal voltages.
Set the operating time carefully because it will affect the time
from when the phase loss occurs until tripping when this
function is used.

tigation, litigation or proceeding (whether or not Omron is a party) which arises
or is alleged to arise from Buyer's acts or omissions under these Terms or in
any way with respect to the Products. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer (at
its own expense) shall indemnify and hold harmless Omron and defend or set-
tle any action brought against such Companies to the extent based on a claim
that any Product made to Buyer specifications infringed intellectual property
rights of another party.
16. Property; Confidentiality. Any intellectual property in the Products is the exclu-
sive property of Omron Companies and Buyer shall not attempt to duplicate it
in any way without the written permission of Omron. Notwithstanding any
charges to Buyer for engineering or tooling, all engineering and tooling shall
remain the exclusive property of Omron. All information and materials supplied
by Omron to Buyer relating to the Products are confidential and proprietary,
and Buyer shall limit distribution thereof to its trusted employees and strictly
prevent disclosure to any third party.
17. Export Controls. Buyer shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and
licenses regarding (i) export of products or information; (iii) sale of products to
“forbidden” or other proscribed persons; and (ii) disclosure to non-citizens of
regulated technology or information.
18. Miscellaneous. (a) Waiver. No failure or delay by Omron in exercising any right
and no course of dealing between Buyer and Omron shall operate as a waiver
of rights by Omron. (b) Assignment. Buyer may not assign its rights hereunder
without Omron's written consent. (c) Law. These Terms are governed by the
law of the jurisdiction of the home office of the Omron company from which
Buyer is purchasing the Products (without regard to conflict of law princi-
ples). (d) Amendment. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between
Buyer and Omron relating to the Products, and no provision may be changed
or waived unless in writing signed by the parties. (e) Severability
. If any provi-
sion hereof is rendered ineffective or invalid, such provision shall not invalidate
any other provision. (f) Setoff. Buyer shall have no right to set off any amounts
against the amount owing in respect of this invoice. (g) Definitions. As used
herein, “including” means “including without limitation”; and “Omron Compa-
nies” (or similar words) mean Omron Corporation and any direct or indirect
subsidiary or affiliate thereof.
Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity
with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the
Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request,
Omron will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying
ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by
itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Prod-
uct in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equip-
ment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or prop-
erty. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Prod-
uct.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON’S PRODUCT IS PROP-
ERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE
OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.
2. Programmable Products. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for the
user’s programming of a programmable Product, or any consequence thereof.
3. Performance Data. Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs
and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitabil-
ity and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application require-
ments. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
4. Change in Specifications. Product specifications and accessories may be
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our prac-
tice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifica-
tions of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, spe-
cial part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time
to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
5. Errors and Omissions. Information presented by Omron Companies has been
checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed
for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors or omissions.
